The next
generation of
explosives detection systems is
TSA Certified and ready to protect your
airport and its passengers. Airports with and
without LOIs can install these in-line checked baggage
scanners without rebuilding terminals, spending tens of millions
or waiting years. Reveal’s CT-80 Intelligent Inline™scanners use proprietary
dual-energy computed tomography to measure the density and atomic number
of every object in the bag, ensuring the highest level of security with low false
alarms. The CT-80 is fully networked for remote image assessment, designed for
simple, flexible installation at various locations within your airport. For more
information, contact Reveal at 781-276-8400, option 1 or visit our Web site.
